new Avex songstress: Alan

http://alan-web.jp/



http://wiki.theppn.org/Alan

she's actually chinese, scouted by Avex China. but she's releasing her debut single in japanese later this autumn. I really like her sound, she has a very traditional chinese way of using her voice

there are samples off the upcoming single & streamable PV on her site.

the picture is pretty freaky.
she looks emaciated. :/

but anywho....i like the sound of the preview on the site. she really does have a very 'chinese sound' to her voice. i think i could come to like her depending on her material.

*LOL at the both of you* It looks like she's as good as singer as BoA. I'll try her out before judging her though.

The name Alan makes me think she's a fan. Obviously it isn't her real name either, so why would they choose something so stupid for her? They also pick the wonkiest names for Chinese singers: Miriam, Jolin...

Aw, names, how you so frequently transcend the gender barrier.

I listened to the clip and really liked it. Looking forward to more works by her!

lol, that's true. If only they knew how weird name's like Miriam and Elva sounded in English.

I do like the song, her voice is a little high (and just a bit nasal). The PV was nice otherwise.
